Wow, that looks great! You're not getting that kind of cutoff with the factory lenses, are you...i.e., this is a real retrofit HID modification, not just bulbs, right?

The problem with putting HIDs bulbs in standard headlight lenses is that the shape of the arc (i.e. where it's brightest/darkest) are different than with the element in a standard halogen bulb. This normally causes light to be thrown in the wrong places on the road., blinding other drivers and actually reducing the amount of "useful" light for yourself. But those things seems to have a pretty clean cutoff. Wonder if the Denali projector housings are just naturally well suited to HID bulbs?
